John:

It is strongly reminiscent of "In My Time of Dying", performed by Blind Bill Johnson, Josh White, Bob Dylan and others at various tuimes.

Now, in the time of dying,
I don't want nobody to mourn.
All I want my friends to do
Comin' for my dying arms,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
